i’m cushla
(kush-la, “the beat of my heart” in Gaelic)
I tagged along for the ride, and after a few years and five continents, found myself living in what’s possibly one of the most wonderful cities in the world - Charleston, South Carolina.
and I couldn’t dream of another career path for my life to take - the privilege and honor of being a part of something as special as a wedding day is not and will never be lost on me.
Born and Raised in Auckland, New Zealand, I met a handsome American who had just graduated from the College of Charleston and was traveling around the South Pacific with a backpack and a camera.
Almost 10 years later,
Through constant investment in self-education and advancements in photographic technology, I am reimagining and redefining what I personally believe it means to create art within the wedding world.
that goes into every single wedding day - acting as both a fly on the wall during intimate moments, and using natural posing cues and encouragement to bring out the best in my subjects where appropriate.
There is a balance of craftmanship, care, and creativity
The beautiful thing about art is that it’s subjective - I’m not the photographer for everyone - I’m here for the people who value and appreciate
what i do, and how i do it.
